PAPERS (As of 1/28/13) PAPERS (as of 1/28/13) PAPERS (1.1-1.5) THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28 (1.1) SESSION ONE • 10:50-11:20 am (1.1.1) Documenting kinship systems in eastern Indonesia Gary Holton • [email protected] University of Alaska Fairbanks This paper draws on recent field work to present a tentative typology of kinship systems in four endangered languages of the Alor-Pantar archipelago in eastern Indonesia. Some challenges for documentation of kinship systems in endangered languages are discussed, and some recommendations for field workers are suggested. Topic area: Sharing worlds of knowledge Keywords: kinship, knowledge, documentation KEONI AUDITORIUM (1.1.2) Sharing linguistic tools with native speakers through the Language Documentation Training Center at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Stephanie Locke • [email protected] University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Erenst Anip • [email protected] University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Established in 2004, the Language Documentation Training Center has been run entirely by graduate students in the Linguistics Department, University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, to contribute to the worldwide effort to document endangered languages. This presentation will describe its history, growth, and potential as a model for community-based documentation efforts. Topic area: Training in documentation methods – beyond the university; Community-based training center Keywords: community-based, documentation, revitalization, language center KOI ROOM (1.1.3) Documenting “middle-sized” languages: Pitfalls and potentials Michelle Morrison • [email protected] University of Maryland Much of the language documentation literature centers on languages with small populations. While important, this can lead to the neglect of little-described languages with larger populations. I argue that documentation of middle-sized languages is also important. I describe the challenges they pose for researchers and give strategies for their documentation. Topic area: Documentation methodology Keywords: larger speech communities, African languages ASIA ROOM (1.1.4) The Coeur d’Alene Online Language Resource Center: A grassroots digital resource Audra Vincent • [email protected] University of British Columbia/Coeur d'Alene Tribe Shannon Bischoff • [email protected] Indiana-University Purdue University Ivy Doak, University of N. Texas Denton Amy Fountain, University of Arizona John Ivens, University of Arizona We present the Coeur d’Alene Online Language Resource Center, a comprehensive data resource for the Coeur d’Alene language community and scholars. The COLRC was created and is maintained by the collaborative efforts of community members, linguists, and computer engineers working to make Coeur d’Alene language resources widely available following TAPS. Topic area: Online language resources Keywords: Coeur d'Alene, digital resources, revitalization, documentation PACIFIC ROOM (1.1.5) The development of the Desano orthography: Overcoming challenges Wilson Silva • [email protected] University of Rochester The process of developing an orthography for Desano described here employs a methodology that empowers native speakers to participate actively in the decision-making process. This methodology has proven to be successful despite the challenges faced during the orthography development process. Topic area: Orthography design; Language conservation Keywords: orthography, documentation, conservation SARIMANOK ROOM (1.1.6) Learning from Serrano documentation: A century of best and not-so-best practices Joseph Henderer • [email protected] San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians Marcus Smith • [email protected] San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians Ernest Siva Morongo Band of Mission Indians This paper assesses work on Serrano over the past century by community members, linguists, other academics, and amateurs. We consider the strengths and weaknesses of these efforts, with an eye towards the practical consequences for language revitalization. We stress the value of working with the community in understanding older resources. Topic area: Assessing success in documentation and revitalization strategies Keywords: revitalization, documentation, methodology, resources KANIELA ROOM (1.2) SESSION TWO • 11:30 am-12:00 pm (1.2.1) Kinship and language documentation in Bhutan Karma Tshering • [email protected] Australian National University The first detailed study of Dzongkha (Tibeto-Burman, Bhutan) kinship reveals a fascinating world of social organization. Unlike in Tibetan (Dzongkha’s sister language of Tibet), Dzongkha kinship terminology shows a plethora of words used to denote relationships to females, suggesting women have played a larger role in shaping Bhutan’s social history. Topic area: Sharing worlds of knowledge Keywords: Bhutan, Dzongkha, kinship KEONI AUDITORIUM (1.2.2) Documenting refugee languages in the diaspora: The Boise Language Project Michal Temkin Martinez • [email protected] Boise State University This paper describes the Boise Language Project—a multimodal project merging teaching, research, and outreach to the local refugee community. In this talk, I will discuss various issues encountered while recruiting participants, as well as share some success stories from the program. Topic area: Sharing worlds of knowledge Keywords: refugee, diaspora, documentation, collaboration KOI ROOM (1.2.3) Domain‐driven documentation: The case of landscape NSF-sponsored talk Niclas Burenhult • [email protected] Lund University and Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics I will present compelling linguistic reasons why landscape is a field worthy of in‐depth exploration, and why it provides an effective and high‐gain approach to language documentation. I will illustrate with examples from several endangered languages and also discuss GIS applications for data collection, analysis, and archiving. Topic area: Sharing worlds of knowledge ASIA ROOM (1.2.4) Software tools for integrated development of the corpus, the lexicon, and community materials Alexander Nakhimovsky • [email protected] Colgate University, USA Tom Myers • [email protected] N-Topus Software We present an integrated workflow for corpus and lexicon development, based on a software bridge between ELAN and FLEx, resulting in two-way links between corpus and lexicon. We also present software that uses the same body of data to create materials for local community. Supported by NSF grants 1065619, 0553546. Topic area: Technology in documentation—methods and pitfalls Keywords: software, FLEx, ELAN, interoperability PACIFIC ROOM (1.2.5) Documenting the revival of Kulitan, the indigenous Kapampangan script Michael Raymon Pangilinan • [email protected] Aguman Sulat Kapampangan Kulitan, the indigenous Kapampangan script, has always been marginalized in favor of the Latin script.

  • Coastal and Inland Dwellings Mindanao & Sulu by Julian E
    Coastal and Inland Dwellings Mindanao & Sulu By Julian E. Dacanay/ Photography: Joseph R. Fortin Folk Architecture ssalamu Alaikum. Peace be unto you. The word Islam literally means “peace” but its deepest meaning carries with it a complete submission to God’s will. A muslim’s first confession of belief is that there is but one God, the Lord of creation, and Muhammad is His prophet. No matter where they live, Muslims belong to the spiritual, worldwide, non-territorial Umma, the Islamic social community where their doctrines, customs and laws are maintained and preserved in the divinely prescribed ideology and faith. Their homeland or the region they inhabit is dar al- Islam or the abode of Islam and it is their duty not to allow it to fall into dar al-Harb, the abode of war or the territory of non-believers. The Islamization of the Philippines, in the context of dar al-Islam, was part of the Indo-Malaysian Islamization that lasted from the ninth to the 15th centuries. Today, island Southeast Asia has one of the heaviest concentrations of Muslims – approximately about 133 million human beings – and the Philippines is still part of this Islamized Malay world of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei which owes much to the Islamic civilization of Arabia and the Middle East. The Muslims in the southern Philippines are found principally in the Sulu Archipelago, in the western and southern portions of Mindanao – around Lake Lanao and in the broad valley of the Pulangi River in Cotabato – and on the island of Palawan south of Puerto Princesa.

  • The Sea Stories and Stone Sails of Borobudur
    The sea stories and stone sails of Borobudur Douglas Inglis Texas A & M University PO Box 114, Waimanalo, HI, 96795 US E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The most profound examples of ancient Southeast Asian ship iconography are found on the walls of the 9th century Borobudur monument in central Java. As the contemporary assemblage of nautical iconography from Southeast Asia is limited, the ship reliefs play an important role in debates over trade and expansion in India, Indonesia and mainland Southeast Asia. The Borobudur ships are technical depictions, and contain data about rigging, rope use, rowing configurations and outrigger construction. Elements in their design have persisted independently as Indonesian watercraft evolved, including outriggers, bipod masts, canted rectangular sails, and quarter rudders. Discussion has focused on construction features, and scholars have made various assertions about how the vessels might have been built, how they were used, and their origin. The vessels' artistic context is often ignored. The ship reliefs are part of a religious narrative which directly influenced how the panels were designed, how the ships were portrayed, and how we should ultimately interpret them. The stories provide important clues as to where each vessel was headed, who was aboard, and what is happening on deck. Despite their detail, the Borobudur vessels should be interpreted cautiously, and not as ancient blueprints. They are artistic renditions that were never meant to float - they were meant to inspire. Key words: Borobudur, bas-reliefs, Sailendra, Indonesia, Java, nautical archaeology Introduction The most informative examples of ancient Southeast Asian ship iconography are found on the ninth century CE Borobudur monument in central Java (Fig.

  • 7Th International Conference on Environmental Future (ICEF7)
    7th International Conference on Environmental Future (ICEF7) Humans and Island Environments PROGRAM 2018 Welcome! 7th International Conference on Environmental Future Humans and Island Environments 16 – 20 April 2018 | Honolulu, Hawai‘i Organized by the Foundation for Environmental Conservation (FEC), East-West Center, and University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, the 7th International Conference on Environmental Future (7ICEF) seeks to advance the global and multi-disciplinary conversation around environmental futures with a specific focus in 2018 on ‘Humans and Island Environments’. The conference will be held from the 16th – 20th April 2018 in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, at the East-West Center’s Imin International Conference Center. The 7ICEF aims to provide a forum for discussion and debate on the current and future issues surrounding island environments, bringing together islanders, researchers, managers, and NGOs from a broad array of disciplines and fields. The underlying questions are: How have islands aided our understanding of human-environment interactions? What are the latest directions in island biological and cultural conservation? Where should island conservation efforts be focused? What conservation lessons do islands have for the rest of the world? The 7ICEF differs from traditional conference formats as the lead person for each of the 18 conference themes has prepared and published a review article in the journal Environmental Conservation with the goal of fostering a focused and impactful conversation. These papers will be presented by the leads and will provide the starting point for each session, followed by invited discussants (experts in each theme) providing their own unique perspective. Other related talks will then be presented and there will be dedicated time in each themed session for discussions, and question and answers.
